Tap @Bruuveri, rated 1.11.2012. Dark nut brown-reddish color, good creamy beige head. Aroma is a bit tarry smokey with fruity hoppyness which is very typical to Bruuveri nowadays. Medium-bodied. Fruity, sticky hoppyness and bitterness mixed tar and licorice. This has a bit higher ABV than usual Bruuveri IPAs and it seems to work. Smoke-tar and hop combination works well.

(Draught at Bruuveri, 20121103) The beer poured mahogany coloured and clear. Its head was medium sized, long lasting and almost white. Aroma had fruity hops and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were black currant leaves, malts, fruitiness and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. I didn’t find any smoke whatsoever. A decent but a bit unbalanced brew.

Pours dark brown with a thick smooth head. Aroma of smoked malts, fruity hops, grass and citrus. Taste starts out mildly smoke but fruity hops dominate the taste with some hints of leather and smoked ham. Finish is bitter and hoppy with nice fruity notes and hints of smokiness. A bit unusual style, but this works surprisingly well!
